For the past four weeks I have been taking advantage of our large crop
of navel oranges. Besides making Tequila Sunrises, orange jam, and
candied orange peel, I have been practicing making the Italian Christmas bread,
panettone. The same bread in a different shape is made at Easter, la colomba.

My first attempt used an Americanized recipe from King Arthur Flour. I graded it C-.
After studying several Italian YouTube video, the next two attempts were a C+ and a B-.
This week, after more study and recipe adjustments yielded my grade of a B+.
A more discerning judge might have awarded a solid B.

There is still much room for improvement. I'll try again next week.
